Nine left homeless after house fire

A fire caused damage to a two-story home Monday evening and left six adults and three children homeless, said Maurice Luque, a San Diego Fire-Rescue Department spokesman.

The blaze was reported about 5:45 p.m. near Bonita and Encina drives in the Valencia Park neighborhood. The first firefighters at the home reported seeing flames coming from the residence, Luque said. It was extinguished about 20 minutes later.

No one was hurt, and investigators are working to determine what sparked the blaze and the extent of the damage, Luque said.
